check_nagios give a failure

[Russell Adams]

I recently had a system with GRSecurity in the kernel with /proc
restrictions that prevented the webserver from running check_nagios
properly.

Check_nagios would execute ps, and the /proc restrictions would
prevent the webserver from viewing all the processes.

Had to add the apache user to group wheel to get it to work, and that
really isn't the best choice. ;]
